Lightning strike 20130722


Taken on a very strange July night. In the space of just a few minutes the weather changed from being hot and muggy to being cool and windy. Travelling from south to north the show passed by in less than half an hour. This shot was taken hand held (camera held against a support) at f8 at ISO 800. I set the camera on bulb in manual mode and kept the shutter button pressed until I saw a flash or had counted to 3 or 4 seconds then released it and repeated (this image was shot at 3 seconds).
